Abstract
We report 26 human isolates of mcr-1-positive Escherichia coli, most of them (65.4%) with a polymyxin B MIC of 2 mg/L. Seventeen out of the 24 mcr-1-positive E. coli proved to be nonclonal by rep-PCR which strengthens the hypothesis of environmental or animal origin of these strains and reinforces the one health context of antimicrobial resistance.Entities:
